Fraser stood on a table and surveyed the crowd of people.
He and Ray had brought out a table from the rec room to be used as a soapbox for the candidate speeches. No chairs had been brought out, but the area had been cleared of twigs and other debris so that people could sit if they so chose.
The Town Hall Meeting was about to begin.
Fraser cleared his voice before speaking. "Pardon the intrusion, please. The Town Hall Meeting will proceed as follows: each candidate will have a chance to speak if they so choose. Please, approach the podium and give your prepared statement. After the statement, questions will be taken. Due to the size of the crowd, hands will not be raised, but please respect each other's voices and opinions. Everyone will get a chance to speak and ask a question if they so want, so there is no need to shout at each other. Insults, and rude comments likewise, will not be tolerated. Thank you, kindly."
And with that, Fraser hopped off the table and stood to one side, flanked by Horatio and both Rays, and watched the first speaker approach.
